Advice On Transferring After/ During Freshman Year

A little background information on my recruitment. My senior year in 2018 I committed to a private D3. However, towards the end of my Spring high school season the coach that recruited me stepped down. I reached out to a local D2 university that was previously following me. This school gave me a full ride for academics and the coach expressed interest, so I came here in the fall as a walk on. Do to budget cuts (As the CIAA no longer supports baseball in conference), I was informed that the University limited the programs roster spots to 22 players. I was not aware that the coach had also brought in two transfer seniors that also played my position. Making me the 5th man on the depth chart now behind 3 seniors and 1 junior. Following a solid performance in tryouts and inner squad scrimmages the coach left me off the roster stating that I was not going to get playing time behind all the upper-classmen.

I have 2 questions pertaining to this matter. If I'm looking to transfer next year having not played baseball for a year, how do I get noticed by other schools? Is it possible to transfer to a juco following your 1st semester and play in the Spring?

(I know some would ask why transfer if you're there for free and likely will have a roster spot next season. That is something I'm considering, I would just like advice on my other two options. 1.) Transferring to a Juco . or 2.) Transferring to a 4 year institution.)
